QUESTION POSED ON: 31 August 2004
We are running Domino R6.5.1. Users can log into our Web applications using their LAN IDs/passwords -- so Active Directory is available. Once the user logs into the Note database, I can store the Active Directory IDs in an author field so the users can edit documents.
The problem I have is that the application is a workflow application that requires an approval. Approval names/IDs are stored in Active Directory. Is there an easy way to do a lookup into Active Directory from within a Notes Web application using just a LAN ID? We have a temporary workaround: a SQL table that is populated twice a day using AD information. Is there an easier way? I don't have the time to write a .NET Web service and I know our "administrator" will never allow synchronization between Domino and Active Directory. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
